Because of the GDPR, Google offers a download of all collected data about you. When you have your location history enabled, this should be part of it. If that’s in a useful data format to parse, one could program this with the actual data of one’s movement

gigachad,

That’s cool but a pretty difficult way to regularly update the fog…

pedz,

Indeed. One can see the reverse of that idea on their Google Timeline. https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/adcc2979-6b0b-4ec7-88fe-a6509b9ec07f.png

There is an app. Fog of the world is the name. Havent tried it personally.

avguser,

That seems really interesting, but not $30 app interesting.

JayObey711,

The app looks so good, but it’s 35€

bananasuit,

It works great! When I was on paternity leave and went out for walks with the baby in the stroller every day, it was a bit boring to just walk the same route each time. I downloaded the Fog of world app and set my self the goal of walking every meter of every street in my part of town before the end of my leave. That made it much more fun, buuuuut I haven’t used it after that…

Just like that scratching the golden foil off of places visited

JayObey711,

Yea but you can choose how precise you want your map to be. For me the foil maps don’t really work.

That’d be awful for me, my primary use of google maps is streetview to figure out what places look like before I go there

LanternEverywhere, (edited )

You wouldn't be stuck with the fog, you would be able to toggle it on and off. The purpose is to make it obvious which areas you've already seen, so that you can know which areas of the world you still have yet to explore!

pedz,

I kind of do that but in reverse with Google Maps Timeline and Strava heat maps. I can see where I’ve been and where I haven’t been so far.

I guess if someone has their location history something like this wouldn’t be too hard to accomplish.

cryptix, (edited )

Its a nice idea , but I will hate the way these tech giants choose to implement it. 99% of implementation would need location to be tracked 24x7 and stored in their server . If someone would have a local or private way to do this , I’m exited.

codeman869,

I would normally agree with you, but I ran across the privacy policy while looking at the app. Plus it looks like you get to choose which cloud service to sync with.

ButtDrugs,

Wow they actually do it locally and aren’t in the data selling game. I might end up paying for it just to support these guys.

bdonvr,

There’s an app for that, Fog of World.

Here’s my map.

Cavemanfreak,

Damn, that looks impressive! I’m guessing truck driver? 😄

bdonvr,

Correct. Most of it took a year and a half before I got a job that keeps me home every night. Hit all 48 contiguous states except Vermont (I tried to avoid the northeast whenever possible)

HurlingDurling,

Any reason why? I’m just curious.

Also… starts playing Johnny Cash

bdonvr, (edited )

More traffic, and way less truck parking. If you’re not shut down by 4pm forget about it.

Out west I got longer loads, better views, and always somewhere to park outside of the cities. Midwest is okay but a bit boring, southeast isn’t much better than northeast.

HurlingDurling,

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation

FrostyTrichs,

Midwest is okay but a bit boring

Flat dirt isn’t very interesting? Clutches pearls

poppy,

Hey, we got soybeans and corn for part of the year.

Slimy_hog,

$30 on android?!

can,

The price of privacy?

Blue_Morpho,

They are selling your data anyway. The $30 covers their costs to market your data to advertisers.

bdonvr,

Nah on this app you actually back up the data yourself by hooking into one of your personal cloud storage accounts

sbv, in I need it

That would be amazing

All posts start at one upvote. An equal number of votes equals zero, which is basically a negative one.

lugal,

That implies that the upvote from OP doesn’t count but why wouldn’t it? OP posted it because they thought it’s good, that should definitely count

remotelove,
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

It thought about that, actually. If I was in a gladiator pit, I would absolutely want my own vote to count, and it does.

However, after thinking about the dynamics of social media updooting, the first vote, in my opinion, is actually the starting point for the scale, not 0/0. It’s not that OPs vote doesn’t count, it’s just that the scale is shifted by one and starts at 1/0 by default. OP can then choose to keep the upvote, remove the upvote or downvote. (Basically, it’s not OPs choice to get the 1/0 vote. Changing the default vote, or keeping it, is where OP has a choice.)

There is an argument to be had that all posts start at 0/0, regardless of defaults. My own opinion is that they actually all start at 1/0. Supporters of either could argue they are correct.

I am fully aware that I am making a really stupid argument here, but it’s supposed to be in fun.

lugal,

I am fully aware that I am making a really stupid argument here

Let’s agree on that.

No, seriously: 1 (1/0) feels like no one cared, but 1 (10/9) and 0 (10/10) both feel equaly controversial. That’s why I like that lemmy shows both ups und downs and not only the result.

If technology exists they will 100% implement that ads will keep repeating unless there are people in the room. The active listening devices already record every data they can and it’s only a matter of time before they can accurately conclude if the room is empty or occupied.

I did it. IATA

Pineapple is a perfectly acceptable pizza topping.

Alchemy, (edited )
@Alchemy@lemmy.world avatar

Only when paired with jalapeno. Preferably Jalap and bacon.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices, (edited )

Banana is a perfectly acceptable pizza topping.

Edit: by the down votes, I can tell people have never been to Sweden 😂

0ops,

You know I’ll try anything once

n3cr0,

It is THE BEST pizza topping.

kworpy, in toilet humour

Yes I always leave it closed if it has a tank

Minarble, in The die is cast

This is potentially the most zero voted meme of all time.

SlurpDaddySlushy, in Is nothing sacred?

I miss lifewater. Preferred it over VitaminWater but unfortunately that’s still around.
